Reports on the discovery of several novae in the Andromeda Galaxy by high school students in the United States who are participating in an education program called `The Use of Astronomy in Research-Based Science Education' funded ...
This is a question that science has yet to answer, but most young people in China today already have an answer. According to them, at the end of the universe is not the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy or the Canes Venatici Constellation, but a government job. Observing changing attitudes ...
Therefore, the centre of the Galaxy is very, very far away. Galaxy vs. Universe A Solar System is the smallest of the three subject matter. It covers the area of a Star's Heliosphere. Inside is the star and all the orbiting Planets, Asteroids, etc. A solar system may not even ...
“Speed of light is as fast as you’re gonna go.” Alien Engineering Even if aliens did crack the code on the galactic speed limit, they could still face other problems, says Scott McCormack, Ph.D., an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at University of California, ...
largest galaxies can be seen in almost any telescope, under the right conditions. For example, my first successful photograph of theAndromeda Galaxywas captured using a compact refractor telescope with an 80mm aperture. However, viewing galaxies through the eyepiece of a telescope like this is not...
2 - The Andromeda Galaxy (all night) The Andromeda Galaxy in the night sky. (Image credit: Chris Vaughan/Starry Night) After the sky fully darkens in early January, the Andromeda Galaxy is positioned near the zenith (the highest point in the sky directly above an observer), which is ...
What is the closest neighboring galaxy to ours? The Milky Way andthe Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest spiral neighbor, are headed toward each other. In about five billion years, they may collide and merge. Eventually, our remote descendants could be living in a large elliptical galaxy. ...
Also, some globular clusters may be the remnants of dwarf galaxies being absorbed by the Milky Way, such as Laevens 1 (which is out in the halo of our galaxy, at something like 20% of the distance to the Andromeda galaxy). And some may have formed as cast-offs from the formation of...
A hypothetical view from Earth as the Andromeda galaxy (on left) is about to collide with part of the Milky Way galaxy. Credit: NASA Our Milky Way galaxy is a cannibal. It has grown by consuming other galaxies. Yet, it too, may be destined to collide and merge with an even bigger ...
The short answer is that it is believed that the electromagnetic field inside a black hole is so powerful that it causes the particles to head towards the poles and then out in a stream. If this is too simplestic, have a read of what Cornell University has to say on the matter....
